I'm still grounded, but my parents went to work and my brother is mad at me so I'm free to go on the computer as I please. Oh yeah, thanks to all my reviewers.

: : Chapter Two : : The Ice Prince and Information King : :

Kagome sat curled on her bed, crying into her pillow. Why did she feel so betrayed, it wasn't as if Sesshomaru had promised to wait for her. Kagome cried harder. No matter what she said to herself it didn't help, she had waited for him. In all of her nineteen years she hadn't had a boyfriend. She hadn't been asked out until she had reached fifteen, but by then she was committed to Sesshomaru. She had been asked out millions of times in the last four years, but she hadn't felt right about even thinking about agreeing.

She hadn't liked Sesshomaru in the beginning, no, instead she had thought he was an arrogant jerk. That was until 'that' day. On that day all of her opinions of him had changed.

: : Flashback : :

Kagome walked through the park softly humming to herself. The sun was setting, but in this neighborhood she felt safe. Up ahead she saw a group of kids her age, they were all dress in red and navy blue. They kids were surrounding something.

Kagome was about to turn around to around to avoid them, when she heard a yelp of pain coming from their general area. She looked for the source of the cry and saw the group of kid beating up a small girl. Kagome rushed over to the girl and punched the leader of the group instinctively. She went to the little girl and kneeled by her whimpering form.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

The little girl looked up at her suspiciously. Kagome smiled kindly and the little girl started to smile back. Then she was pushed from behind. She turned to see that the group had recovered and was really angry.

"Do you have a problem girl?" The leader asked.

"Yeah, I do have a problem with people that beat on little kids," Kagome answered.

"Well you ain't little so we'll settle on you," he replied.

The boy punched suddenly and it hit her square on her left eye. Kagome stumbled backwards, but stood her ground in front of the girl. Her hand fisted, but she refused to resort to violence. The group of kids closed in around Kagome and the little girl and the leader prepared to strike again.

"What is going on here?" A cold voice asked.

The group had turned and looked at the intruder. It was a boy called Sesshomaru Matsura, or more commonly known as the Ice Prince. He was standing there in all his freezing glory and glaring contemptuously at them. Kagome had never been happier to see anyone in her life. It was true that she didn't particularly like him, but the Ice Prince was said to posses a deep sense of honor. This boosted Kagome's courage so that she could talk to him.

"They," Kagome pointed at the group of kids, "were beating up this little girl," Kagome moved to reveal the little girl behind her.

"Onii-chan!" the little girl cried as she ran to Sesshomaru.

The little girl clasped onto Sesshomaru's legs and Kagome looked on stunned. The little girl she had helped was the Ice Prince's little sister. Sesshomaru looked down at the little girl and examined her face then he unclasped the girl's hands from around him and looked at the group.

"You dare hurt MY little sister?" He asked threateningly.

"What of it?" The leader asked boldly.

The group out numbered Sesshomaru seven to one, but Sesshomaru gracefully dispatched three of them to the ground with ease. Kagome helped him out by discreetly tripping two of them. The other two ran away in fear. The little girl came up to Kagome.

"Rin likes you. You helped Rin and Onii-chan," the little girl said.

"It was no prob. I can't stand jerks like that," Kagome said down to the little girl.

"Rin is right, you did help her, I am in your debt," Sesshomaru interrupted calmly.

"Like I said, it was no prob. You owe me nothing," Kagome replied.

"Be that as it may, you'll come with us. The least we can do is help tend to your eye."

"But..."

"Yes, you come with Rin and Onii-chan, we'll make you feel better."

"Okay then I'll come," Kagome relented.

Rin took her hand and they walked behind Sesshomaru. Rin chattered aimlessly and Kagome listened with half an ear. Maybe the Ice Prince wasn't such a jerk. He seemed to really love him little sister, and that really counted in her book.

: : End Flashback : :

Kagome cried harder, she missed Rin, but most of all she missed Sesshomaru. Did he even remember her? Probably not, he had always had girls hanging around him. He would never know that she wished for him in the darkest hours of the night when her mind sunk into the darkest of despair. Kagome roused herself from her misery when she heard a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" Kagome asked sniffling.

"It's Miroku," a voice called back.

"Go away," Kagome shouted.

She didn't need this, he reminded her of the past. Of how much she loved Sesshomaru. Of how much she missed him when she had moved. Of all the times she had thought of him when her life went to hell. The door opened quietly and Miroku stepped in. He sat down on her bed and watched as Kagome spaced out.

"Kagome?" He asked softly.

"Humm?"

"What happened?"

Kagome zoned back in and watched his face carefully. They were both silent for a moment before Kagome laid back and stared at the ceiling.

"Kagome?"

"I saw him Miroku. After all these years I finally saw him again."

"And?"

"He has a girlfriend. After all these years of waiting for him, and now, nothing."

"Sesshomaru Matsura does not have a girlfriend. I would have heard if he hooked up with someone."

Kagome sat up and looked at Miroku sharply. He was looking as innocent and angelic as was possible for a leach like him.

"How would you know if he had a girlfriend?"

"I am the information king! I know who's dating whom. I know if a couple broke up, and I KNOW who's single. Trust me Sesshomaru is defiantly single, but he does have a fan club!"

"A fan club?"

"Umm humm."

Kagome thought about it for a second it did seem plausible, after all Sesshomaru hadn't stopped when the girl called to him. A soft smile spread on her face.

"Wow. Thanks for cheering me up Miroku, I feel a lot better now."

"Your Welcome," Miroku got up to leave, but paused out side the door. "Kagome, there's something you should know, Inu Yasha is..."

"Kagome!" Sango's voice called from the living room.

"Sorry Miroku, can this wait until later?" Kagome left and went to Sango without waiting for an answer. "Yes Sango?"

"I'm going to visit my dad, do you want to come?" Sango asked.

"No, I'm going to the park," Kagome answered.

Sango and Kagome went out the door together but parted ways at the street. Kagome went to the park and Sango headed for the cemetery.

: : End Chapter : :

Akikazu: Wow I thought I was going to be a lot shorter than that.

Inu Yasha: It was still short, and I wasn't even in this chapter.

Kagome: You were mentioned.

Inu Yasha: Once!!!

Akikazu: So how'd you like my pen name?

Inu Yasha: It's stupid.

Kagome: I wouldn't provoke her.

Inu Yasha: Or what?

Akikazu: Or I'll make Kikyo dump you and turn into a Sesshomaru Fan Girl!

Inu Yasha: I'll attack anyone who disses her pen name!

Akikazu: That's what I thought. Anyway I gotta run (bows) Ja ne.
